So the boyfriend had a root canal done this afternoon, dentist fucked it up by shredding a nerve causing him to piss out blood from his tooth, the bleeding was so bad that he had to go to hospital.

Does he have a good case to sue?

In my opinion probably not,its very hard to sue anyone in a medical profession,unless its something like cause of death/causing major disability..But if you want proper advice I would seek the help of citizens advice bureau first,they are usually quite helpful

Firstly, I hope your OH is ok now. It would be extremely rare if you were to pursue a successful claim for blood loss. If no long term damage is apparent, then he'll have to be content with soup for a few days

......& in addition, make sure you give your oh plenty of oral sex, it's good for a speedy trauma recovery

What a horrible experience for him I hope it heals quickly and well.

Your description of what happened is not enough to enable a legal professional to advise you let alone a bunch of swingers with assorted experience. I recommend seeking qualified advice if you think the dentist was negligent rather than doing his or her best with a difficult procedure.

The key word here is 'negligent' - this is something that you need to prove the dentist was, if you were to sue.

You could sue for loss of earnings, and cost of extra medications, and any other costs you incurred because of their mistake.

Probably be entitled to something for the pain and Inconvenience too.

I would of thought another dentist will investigate if it goes that far, if thats the case, forget it. Unfortunate shit like this happens.

Could he? Just based on what you've read here without knowing if he had lost earnings or even if it's the dentists fault? Entitled to somethin for pain and inconvenience as a result of visiting a dentist? Blimey I must be owed thousands!

do not understand this "compensation culture" we seem to have adopted from the USA.

especially when people sue the likes of the NHS where the money paid out in compensation would be better used to improve the situation we have in hospitals

Because lack of any outcome for bad work results in people doing bad work the compensation is the incentive to get people to complain and deal with the bad work not just go "Meh what's the point" i mean wpuld you go through months of investigations statements and court hearings to prove your doctor committed malpractice if at the end yiu got nothing?

I doubt you can honestly say you would.

And the money doesn't come from the nhs it comes from the doctors private malpractice insurance

Root canals are very difficult. Particularly if the root is twisted which the dentist would not necessarily be able to tell until s/he starts to work on it. I know from personal experience.

I doubt you'd be able to sue for what May have been unavoidable. If you seriously wish to pursue it, however, I would recommend getting a second opinion from another dental professional.

Set fire to a few thousand quid

Wait 3 years

Get frustrated along the way

End up back at square 1

Net result : the same as starting a claim against a medical professional for what, in the scheme of things is a temporary and minor set back

Alternatively, get a grip and return to the real world

Do we know why the dentist shread a nerve and what was the dentists explanation. ? I would get the dental work resolved asap and worry about suing afterwards . What are the dentists terms and condition for treatment .

. Yes anyone can issue a claim but on what grounds would you base your claim and what chance if any would you have of winning it. ? Not a very nice experience but you would have to prove gross negligence .

I would love you to sit down in front of my sister and tell her that she shouldn't have sued the NHS for their mishandling and negligence of her son's birth which caused him to be brain damaged and severely disabled!

Until you are in that situation, you dont know what you would do.

Once hit my thumb on a hammer - hurt like fuck for days, had to suck it and then bandage it with one hand.

I did not see one single warning sign telling me about this when purchasing the thing. I should have bypassed the maker and gone for the guy who invented the thing! Whoever it was is a liability and needs putting in their place for such a fantastically dangerous piece of equipment.

Didnt even finish the job, so now I have a wonky kitchen. My friends laugh at me and are constantly spilling brews. I know your pain.

Somewhat different to a bleeding root canal. Not all things are equal.

this is the point i was trying to make, very sorry to hear of your sisters misfortune in the birth of her child and do understand the compensation is something that needed to be given in this sort of circumstance, (and of course equally nasty cases of malpractice)

i should have made it cleare in my post that i was refering more to the compensation culture that seems to abound in minor cases like a bloody mouth from root canal work and similar minor problems.

please accept my humblest apologies

Apology gratefully accepted. And I agree with you that in the OPs case I dont think this should be classed as negligence case at all x

So if he's alright what are you suing the dentist for? What exactly does he need compensating for?

Surely when you have this sort of treatment you are told that there may be complications? Really not sure what you could sue them for? And even why you would want to?

Accidents happen, if you cause an accident you are liable for it and courts can force you to take responsibility, especially for any financial losses. Maybe study law?

Didn't say he had lost earnings just said you can sue for that.

Does your dentist wear a white nylon coat? Could you see through it?.... Seriously, unless your OH has lasting damage/ disfigurement, I think it really was just one of the acceptable risks for such procedures. Hope he's OK now x x

Why are people so money greedy??

Your partner had dental treatment, which went a bit wrong, resulting him to go to hospital and be treated. He's okay yes? Just has a sore mouth and a story to tell the neighbours for a few days, yes??

However, if you sue this dentist, do you realise what it may cost him? And I'm most certainly not talking about the financial costs either!!!

Should just be bloody grateful that he's okay, he was treated immediately and he's home safe and sound.

That was the other bit. Liability and probability are different things, hence the different words.

In reality you can sue for anything, doesn't mean you will get a payout though. Depends on whether the judge knows law, whether the representatives know their shit and whether the law supports you in what you're doing.

Going on what information the OP has given I would say that a claim for compensation would be unlikely.

I expect you signed a consent form which would have the risks outlined, if you signed it, you agreed to it and unless there was serious malpractice and negligence, and I doubt that as the patient is well, then you are wasting your time. Of course offset that against your legal costs that are required upfront, and that is costly.

Yeah he's ok now, still sore, rang him 35 Times when he went to see how he was getting on!

I don't think he'll sue, I think he was just really high from the painkillers he took!
